Protesters hold Bangladesh's national flags as they march to block the house of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, �Bangabandhu� the first president of independent Bangladesh and father of ousted ex-premier Sheikh Hasina, in Dhaka on August 15, 2024, to mark the anniversary of his assassination. August 15 is the anniversary of the 1975 assassination of her father, independence hero Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, during a military coup -- a date her government had declared a national holiday. Previous years saw huge rallies around Bangladesh to mark the occasion, but the students who toppled Hasina were eager to ensure supporters of her Awami League party did not have a chance to regroup.
